Christian right leaders advocate canceling '08 elections, choose next president by committee
Here's a frightening story, although nobody should be surprised. A self-appointed "committee" of theocrats determined to examine, approve & elect the next Republican presidential candidate. USATODAY.com - Christian right groups set sights on '08
It seems very strange indeed that even the radical Christian right would want the Rev. Don Wildmon on any committee to examine the beliefs of Republican presidential candidates. Aren't Republicans also the party of Big Business? The GOP was better known as "white country club" before they added "white Christians." After an unsuccessful nine year campaign to bring to heel or send to hell the Disney Corporation - which employs about 50,000 at Disneyworld alone (many unionized) - Wildmon is now willing to destroy Ford Motor in order to save America's soul. What can Wildmon possibly ask, say, Jeb Bush? "Governor Bush, do you believe - & I know that you are a convert to the Papist conspiracy - that Earth was created 6000 years ago and that Disneyworld is a sinful stain on the map of Florida?"
